Base
Configuration
System design starts with choosing the base
that best fits your application. Numerous base
configurations are available to meet space,
portability, sound and material demands.
Popular configurations include:
Standard
Our standard base configuration is constructed of heavy duty steel, epoxy coated for added
protection and available in a variety of sizes. Includes heavy-duty shock mounts for easy leveling and
shock absorption. Drive guard also included for proper ventilation and operator safety. Aluminum
and stainless steel models available by request.
Stacked
For compact installations, we offer a variety of vertically stacked options that provide smaller footprint,
yet still provide easy accessibility for maintenance.
Portable
We offer a wide variety of portable base configurations to suit any portable application. Wheels and
handle can be added to our standard base package or we can design a custom base to better meet
your requirements. Carrying handles, carts, fork lift slots, lifting lugs and truck mount bases are popular
configurations.
Enclosed
For installations that require extra protection or lower sound, we have designed fully enclosed bases to
best suit your application needs. Enclosed bases still provide easy accesibility for routine maintenance.
Multiple Pump
For applications that require a higher flow or pressure rating than a single pump can achieve, we have
special configurations designed to hold multiple pumps to meet your application demands.
Power
Source
Evaluate which power source will best fit the
needs of your installation. A qualified and
proven staff with extensive experience can
assist in recommending the correct product
for any power source available.
Popular configurations include:
Electric

but are not limited to, such as: Horsepower range - 1/4 to 200; RPM – 1800 or 3600; Phase - single
or three; Enclosure – TEFC, ODP, explosion proof; Frequency - 60Hz or 50Hz; Nema frame styles –
56C to 449T; Voltages - 115 to 575.
Gas
For portable applications or installations that do not have an electric motor source available,

horizontal shaft; electric or manual start; cyclonic air cleaner; muffler.
Diesel
For portable applications or higher horsepower installations that do not have an electric motor
source available, we offer variety of diesel engine options: Horsepower range 9.9 to 80; RPM –
2600 to 3600; four stroke; electric start; manual clutch; air or liquid cooled.
Hydraulic
For custom systems being installed where hydraulics are available, we offer three types of
hydraulic motor options: SAE “A”, 2 bolt mount, 12 SAE side ports, dual rotation, 3000rpm, up
to 17.5 gpm, 3000psi, in a variety of displacement sizes or SAE “B”, 2 bolt mount, 16 SAE side
ports, dual rotation, 3000rpm, up to 44.0 gpm, 3000psi, in a variety of displacement sizes or

For trigger gun applications, an unloader
is recommended which reduces load on
the pump and motor when the system is
in by-pass.
A relief or pop-off valve provide your system
with an accurate and reliable secondary
pressure relief to protect your pump and
system from damage caused by overpressurization.
Pressure Gauge
Pulsation Dampener
A pressure gauge is used to accurately
monitor pump pressure. All models are
glycerine filled for consistent and accurate
pressure readings with brass and stainless
steel options available. We also offer a variety
of panel mount options.
A pulsation dampener is used to help provide
smooth and consistent flow as well as increase
overall system life. Most models available are
rechargeable and are available in steel
or stainless steel.
Oil Level Indicator
Captive Acceleration Tube (C.A.T.)
Our oil level indicators can be installed
in a variety of locations for convenient
monitoring of crankcase oil levels. Kits are
also equipped with oil drain plugs for fast
and convenient oil changes.
A captive acceleration tube or C.A.T. is used to
stabilize and maintain consistent inlet pressure
when dealing with high temperatures, booster
pump feed, long inlet lines or pressure spikes
caused by regulating valves.
Inlet Filter / Strainer
LPS Monitor
Inlet filters or strainers are used to catch
standard water particles and debris from
reaching and causing damage to your pump.
Removable bowl permits easy cleaning
without removing filter or plumbing.
A low pressure seal monitor can be added
to your system to alert you when the low
pressure seals are worn and need
replacement. Either PLC or lighted versions
are available to signal maintenance personnel
the seals need to be replaced.
